Abstract
The aim of the present study is to compare the pollinic season of Plantago in four aerobiological stations within the Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza euroregion. The Plantago pollen has generally been considered a minor cause of pollinosis. It is difficult to evaluate the role of Plantago airborne pollen in the pollinosis symptomatology because of the low rate of monosensitive patients. moreover, the allergy to Plantago airpollen is connected with the allergy to Poaceae pollen because of the simultaneous presence of the two types of pollen in the air. Since the onset of the allergy also depends on the airpollen concentration, in this study we intend to present the concentrations of the Plantago pollinic type within the Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza euroregion. The analysis uses the data obtained during five years of monitoring with the help of four volumetric traps located in timişoara (Romania), Szeged (Hungary), Novi Sad and Ruma (Serbia). The Plantago pollen is present in the air from may until august. The highest total annual concentration was recorded at novi sad in 2001 (1326 pg/m3). The highest daily airpollen concentrations seldom exceed 30 pg/m3. The highest daily concentration was 64 pg/m3 (recorded in Novi Sad, 2001). In Szeged and Novi Sad the annual concentrations are on the decrease, while in Timişoara they are slightly on the increase. The presence of the pollen in the airplankton was considerably long in Timişoara, Novi Sad and Ruma in 2004.
